ALPANC researchers publish study protocol comparing 3D modeling versus conventional CT

3D-PANC study protocol: Is three-dimensional imaging technology superior to computed tomography for assessing the response to neoadjuvant treatment in patients with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma? This study focuses on improving the...

New potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer identified by ALIPANC researchers

The study by Parejo-Alonso et al. identifies PPAR-δ as a critical transcription factor mediating pancreatic cancer cell adaptation to microenvironmental stress. Normally involved in lipid metabolism, PPAR-δ is overexpressed in pancreatic tumors and, under metabolic...

ALIPANC researchers develop a new therapeutic combination in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer.

This study conducted by researchers from Vigo presents an innovative sequential therapeutic strategy against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, one of the most lethal cancers due to its stromal barrier that prevents drug penetration. The novelty lies in the biphasic...
